Gastón Edul's emotional entrance at La Velada del Año VI: Argentine anthem and Malvinas shirt

Argentine journalist Gastón Edul made an emotional entrance at "La Velada del Año VI" in Seville, Spain, for his highly anticipated boxing match against fellow journalist Edu Aguirre.

Edul, representing TyC Sports, was accompanied by Fabio Santana, a veteran of the Malvinas War, who sang the Argentine national anthem. In a move that went viral on social media, Edul also wore a shirt bearing the slogan "Las Malvinas son argentinas" (The Malvinas are Argentine), echoing a sentiment seen during the 2026 World Cup. His entrance drew parallels to the national team's journey in the tournament.

Streamers David Quint and Lautaro del Campo, known as "Davoo Xeneize" and "La Cobra," were also present to support Edul.

After a closely contested fight that went the full three rounds without a knockout, the judges' decision favored Edu Aguirre. Despite the loss, Edul addressed the crowd, expressing pride in representing Argentina and calling for a rematch next year under more equitable preparation conditions.

He concluded his remarks by reaffirming his stance on the Malvinas Islands and offering a message of support to Argentine football star Lionel Messi, emphasizing that his enjoyment of Messi's play transcends whether he wins or loses.

“

It's an honor to be here in the name of Argentina. I want a rematch with Edu Aguirre next year without being two months away, with equitable preparations because I find it unfair. The Malvinas are always Argentine. Leo Messi, our pleasure and enjoyment is that you play for the national team, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, I hope you can stay because we enjoy it from the heart.
